Electric, I wouldn't go after those INTC April 100s at 2 1/2. Intel currently has to move 35% in the next 6 months to bring you at a breakeven point. Even if it does that, wouldn't it be better to be in the actual stock (and actually make the 35%) or some options right at the money (say INTC April 75s at 10 - CHEAP!) and buy only 1/4 of the options. This way, IF Intel does run to 102 by April, you would have made a minimum of 170% on your position rather than breaking even. Muizz
